The app for independent voices

In California, a state legislator has introduced a bill, SB 1100, that would allow local legislative bodies to prevent "disruption" by silencing and ejecting speakers, or even clearing the entire audience and continuing an "open session" behind a locked door with no one watching. The bill was introduced behind the short title "Public meetings; orderly conduct."
